Ong Doubles After Waking up With Kings

Level 7 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

A player in middle position raised to 10,000 and was three-bet to 35,000 by the player in the cutoff. Nathan Ong then cold four-bet to 75,000, which got a fold from the initial raiser and a call from the cutoff for a bloated heads-up pot.

The cutoff checked to Ong, who continued for 36,000 on the 3♠6♥9♠ flop. His opponent responded by shoving and Ong quickly called all in for 157,000 total.

Nathan Ong: K♠K♦
Cutoff: Q♦Q♠

It was a clash between two premiums, with Ong holding a commanding lead with his Cowboys.

The J♦ turn nor 3♥ river changed anything and Ong was awarded a massive double up.
